fun fact: 


digital description: 


wall description: 
Renaissance medals usually show a person on the front and a symbolic element on the back, creating an overall statement about the individual. The meaning of the two men in a sailboat remains opaque, intentionally meant to be understood only by a small circle of intellectuals.
